  1. Hello... I'm hoping someone will be able to shed light on my situation. I bought my first ever Subaru on 4/24/07, an 2001 Outback Limited wagon with about 75,000 miles. Since then I've been back and forth to the dealer many many times with shaking in the steering wheel and my car also drifts to the right. The wheels have been balanced 3 times, the whole car aligned, 2 brand new tires on the front (2 old tires in rear), the steering rods are okay they said, and some other things that deal with the steering that I can't remember what they are checked out okay. (can you tell I'm a chick? ha) The amount of constant shaking varies from the amount of load in the rear, and always starts shaking around 50mph and up. One camping trip it shook going around bends, then a different cargo load on another trip and it shook going straight but stopped shaking in the turns. I was told by the service manager my car drifts to the right due to the crown in the road to drain the surface water... um... right. Funny how my old Saturn didn't drift. I did see the thread about possible reasons for the drifting but the dealer doesn't seem to care. He also got a bit snippy when I suggested possible reasons for the shaking and drifting but if my car buddies aren't certified mechanics he doesn't care. I love the Subaru. It's great for camping, I've slept in it, finally a functional vehicle. If only the shaking and drifting would cease. ~~ Camper G ~~
